It sounds like the reason you're having trouble accelerating is because the tranny is starting itself in 2nd or 3rd gear. If I recall, this is a sort of protection mode that the transmission uses if it thinks it is in trouble. The idea is that you can "limp home" or to the repair shop without doing any more damage to the transmission. I don't know enough to tell you why it would have been activated, but it is possible that whatever happened didn't actually damage the tranny - instead it set off the protection mode accidentally. Your repair costs could be anywhere from $0 if they just have to deactivate the protection to several thousand if they have to replace the transmission. Total replacement is highly unlikely, but I can't say definatively what the actual problem will be. Good luck.
